Leveraging Telehealth in Pediatric Rheumatology: Insights and Applications

Leveraging Telehealth in Pediatric Rheumatology: Insights and Applications
The recent commentary "Towards telehealth delivery in pediatric rheumatology practice" highlights the significant potential and benefits of telehealth in pediatric rheumatology. As practitioners focused on improving outcomes for children, it's crucial to consider how these insights can be implemented in our practices.

The commentary underscores the advantages of telehealth, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted traditional healthcare delivery. Pediatric rheumatology, reliant on history, musculoskeletal, and skin examinations, is well-suited for telehealth, both synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (data transmission) forms.

Key Takeaways for Practitioners

Challenges to Consider

Future Directions

The commentary calls for further research and development in telehealth delivery for pediatric rheumatology. Key areas include:

National and international pediatric rheumatology organizations should seize this opportunity to create guidelines and frameworks to integrate telehealth into standard practice. The momentum created by the pandemic can be harnessed to establish a hybrid system of care, combining in-person and telehealth consultations to optimize patient outcomes.
